---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUBA Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Sudan said on Friday that a pipeline to north Sudan carrying its oil exports may have to shut down within two days because Khartoum was blocking oil shipments.
Six months after landlocked South Sudan seceded from Sudan, the two countries have failed to agree on how much Juba should pay Khartoum in fees to transport its production of 350,000 barrels per day to port.
South Sudan's minister of petroleum and mining, Stephen Dhieu Dau, said Sudan was still blocking southern oil exports that go via the northern port of Port Sudan.
"There is no change to the blockade. They are holding the oil. The companies are warning all the partners including the government of Sudan and our government and all stakeholders that within two days there will not be space for storage," he told reporters.
"(It) will have to shut down if there is no change. This is a major program," he said. "This is the responsibility of the government of Sudan. They will be responsible for any damages that follow the shutdown."
